McCain Campaign Sells Info-Loaded Blackberry PDAs
An anonymous reader writes "A news station in Washington D.C. has reported that the McCain Campaign has allegedly sold to reporters Blackberry handhelds with campaign-related information such as e-mail messages and phone numbers: 'We traced the Blackberry back to a staffer who worked for "Citizens for McCain" ... The emails contain an insider's look at how grassroots operations work, full of scheduling questions and rallying cries for support ... But most of the numbers were private cell phones for campaign leaders, politicians, lobbyists and journalists. "Somebody made a mistake," one owner told us. "People's numbers and addresses were supposed to be erased."'"
If your BackBerry belongs to an organization there is usually a remote wipe capability and remote disable feature. The last firm I where I worked would regularly wipe and disable lost BlackBerrys.
If Joe actually WAS a plumber, as he said he was, he wouldn't have taken so much heat.
He actually WAS a plumber. You do know that, right?
He actually WASN'T a plumber. You do know that right? Being a plumber in Ohio requires a license. He didn't have one (ever).
Umm...No. Joe pushed his way up to the rope line and yelled to get Obama's attention. He then proceeded to use the party lines "communism", "spread the wealth", etc. The rest of your statement is illogical since he didn't own the business, wasn't in line to own the business, wasn't making anywhere close to what he claimed....Shall I go on?
This is a sig. This is only a sig. Had this been an actual sig you would have been informed where to tune for more sigs.
Oh yea, that's right. A dishonest loaded question because the off the cuff reply Obama made didn't sound good.
Poor Obama was the victim here now wasn't he. Of course Obama approaches Joe the Plumber, not the other way around. Obama came into his neighborhood, not the other way around, Yes, Joe the Plumber said he wanted to catch him off guard but it's just as much of Obama's fault as anyone's. Obama should have known that someone would have asked him a question like that, after all, McCain had been saying the 250,000 would hurt small businesses.
So ok, Joe the Plumber asked a question, you seem to think it is dishonest and loaded, Is the fact that Obama floundered and then the press and Obama supporters attacked him having any weight on that position? What makes you think it was dishonest and loaded? If a reporter asked the same question it would be journalism so I don't see the problem other then Obama didn't look good.
